Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 29, 2012, Park National Corporation (“Park”) issued a news release (the “Financial Results News Release”) announcing financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. A copy of this Financial Results News Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Park's management uses certain non-U.S. GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate Park's performance. Specifically, management reviews return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common book value per common share. Management has included in the Financial Results News Release information relating to the return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common book value per common share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. For purposes of calculating the return on average tangible common equity, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income available to common shareholders for each period is divided by average tangible common equity during the period. Average tangible common equity equals average stockholders' equity during the applicable period less (i) average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period and (ii) average preferred stock during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the return on average tangible assets, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income available to common shareholders for each period is divided by average tangible assets during the period. Average tangible assets equals average assets during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, tangible common equity is divided by tangible assets. Tangible common equity equals stockholders' equity less preferred stock and goodwill and intangible assets. Tangible assets equals total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. For the purpose of calculating tangible common book value per common share, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, tangible common equity is divided by common shares outstanding at period end. Management believes that the disclosure of return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common book value per common share presents additional information to the reader of the consolidated financial statements, which, when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, assists in analyzing Park's operating performance and ensures comparability of operating performance from period to period while eliminating certain non-operational effects of acquisitions and, in the case of return on average common equity and tangible common book value per common share, the impact of preferred stock. In the Financial Results News Release, Park has provided a reconciliation of average tangible common equity to average stockholders' equity, average tangible assets to average assets, tangible common equity to stockholders' equity and tangible assets to total assets solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common book value per common share are substitutes for return on average equity, return on average assets, common equity to assets and common book value per common share, respectively, as determined by U.S. GAAP.

The $139 million (3.32%) increase in loans experienced at PNB through the first nine months of 2012 is primarily related to continued demand in the mortgage loan portfolio, which has increased by $98.4 million. Of the $98.4 million increase in the mortgage loan portfolio, approximately $96.8 million of the increase is associated with our decision to retain a portion of the 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages originated by PNB rather than selling them in the secondary market. As noted above, PNB's allowance for loan losses has declined by $10.6 million, or 16.67%, to $53.1 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $63.8 million at September 30, 2011. The decline in PNB's allowance for loan losses is due to continued improvement in the credit metrics across the PNB loan portfolio, as well as declines in specific reserves established for impaired commercial loans. Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for Loan Losses” section below for additional information regarding the improvements in the credit metrics of PNB's loan portfolio.

In the 2011 Annual Report, management stated that GFSC was expected to make net income of $3.0 million in 2012. Management's latest guidance for 2012 reflects a slight increase in net income for GFSC to approximately $3.7 million. This improvement is the result of a lower provision for loan losses based on credit analysis performed by GFSC's management.

In the 2011 Annual Report, management projected net income of $1 million for the Parent Company, Vision Bank through February 16, 2012 and SEPH. Typically, we expect the Park Parent Company will perform around breakeven. Management's most recent projection shows net income of $0.3 million for 2012.
The net interest income for Park's parent company includes interest income on loans to SEPH and on subordinated debt investments with PNB, which are eliminated in the consolidated Park National Corporation totals. Additionally, net interest income includes interest expense related to the $35.25 million and $30 million of subordinated notes issued by Park in December 2009 and April 2012, respectively.
SEPH / Vision Bank
Vision Bank (“Vision”) merged with and into SEPH, a non-bank subsidiary of Park, following the sale of the Vision business to Centennial Bank (“Centennial”) on February 16, 2012. SEPH holds the remaining assets and liabilities retained by Vision subsequent to the sale. SEPH's assets consist primarily of performing and nonperforming loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”). This segment represents a run off portfolio of the legacy Vision assets.

The table below reflects the results for SEPH for the first, second and third quarters of 2012 and projected results for the fourth quarter of 2012. The SEPH results for the first quarter of 2012 include Vision's results prior to the completion of the sale to Centennial on February 16, 2012. Also included below are the results for SEPH and Vision for each of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. SEPH was formed in March 2011. Prior to holding the remaining Vision Bank assets, SEPH held OREO assets that were transferred from Vision to SEPH.

In the 2011 Annual Report, management projected combined net income of $1 million for the Park Parent Company, Vision through February 16, 2012 and SEPH. As noted above, we typically expect the Park Parent Company will perform around breakeven. As such, management expected net income of approximately $1 million for the combined operations of Vision through February 16, 2012 and SEPH throughout the 2012 year. Management's most recent projection for the combined SEPH / Vision is a net loss of $12.0 million for 2012. The decline in projected net income is primarily due to increased provision for loan losses and other expense at SEPH through the first nine months of 2012.
The $12.3 million loan loss provision in the third quarter of 2012 was largely related to a single loan relationship held by SEPH. PNB also holds a participation interest in this loan relationship. The majority of the loan relationship is secured by a significant third party receivable. As a result of continued delays in the expected repayment of the loan relationship and additional information received during the third quarter of 2012, including recent events that raised concern about the collectability of this receivable, Park's management determined that it was appropriate for SEPH and PNB to charge-down the loan relationship by an amount of $13.0 million ($2.5 million at PNB and $10.5 million at SEPH), in the aggregate (with a loan loss provision of the same amount). The remaining loans at SEPH are generally well secured by either real estate or personal property and have been previously written down (as needed) to the fair value of the underlying real estate or personal property determined by recent appraisals.
On February 16, 2012, when Vision merged with and into SEPH, the loans then held by Vision were transferred to SEPH by operation of law at their fair market value and no allowance for loan loss is carried at SEPH. The loans included in both the performing and nonperforming portfolios have been charged down to their fair value. The table below provides additional information regarding charge-offs as a percentage of unpaid principal balance, as of September 30, 2012:

In the 2011 Annual Report, management stated that Park was expected to make net income of approximately $97 million in 2012. Management's latest projection for 2012 reflects net income for Park of approximately $80.8 million. The decline of $16.3 million is due to the continued low interest rate environment, resulting in a lower projection for net interest income, and worse than expected results at SEPH.

Credit Metrics and Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2012 was $16.7 million, compared to $16.4 million for the same period in 2011. For the first nine months of 2012, the provision for loan losses was $30.2 million, compared to $43.1 million for the same period in 2011. As previously discussed, a significant portion of the loan loss provision in the third quarter of 2012 was the result of one loan relationship, which was charged down by approximately $13.0 million ($2.5 million at PNB and $10.5 million at SEPH) and resulted in a loan loss provision of the same amount. The table below shows a breakdown of the loan loss provision by reportable segment:

The table above reflects that the loan loss provision for Park's ongoing operations, consisting of Park's Ohio operations (PNB and GFSC), has declined by $7.3 million, or 36%, when comparing the first nine months of 2012 with the same period in 2011. This reduction is due to improving credit trends for Park's Ohio operations. The following table shows the trends in Park Ohio's commercial loan “Watch List”.
Commercial loans * (In thousands) | September 30, 2012 | December 31, 2011 | December 31, 2010 | ||||||
Pass rated | $ | 2,176,573 | $ | 2,131,007 | $ | 2,046,016 | |||

* Commercial loans include: (1) Commercial, financial and agricultural loans, (2) Commercial real estate loans, (3) Commercial related loans in the construction real estate portfolio and (4) Commercial related loans in the residential real estate portfolio.
The commercial loan table above demonstrates the improvement experienced over the last 21 months in the Park Ohio commercial portfolio. Pass rated commercial loans have grown $130.6 million, or 6.38% since December 2010. Over this period, special mention loans have declined by $35.4 million, or 41.5% and substandard loans have declined by $58.1 million, or 74.0%. These improved credit metrics in the special mention and substandard categories of the commercial loan portfolio have a significant impact on the general reserves that are established to cover incurred losses on performing commercial loans. As these metrics have improved over the past 21 months, general reserves have declined as well.
Delinquent and accruing loan trends for Park's Ohio-based operations have also improved over the past 21 months. Delinquent and accruing loans were $33.4 million or 0.77% of total loans at September 30, 2012, compared to $40.1 million (0.96%) at December 31, 2011 and $45.8 million (1.12%) at December 31, 2010.
Impaired commercial loans for Park's Ohio-based operations were $92.6 million as of September 30, 2012, consistent with the balances of impaired loans of $95.1 million and $90.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Impaired commercial loans are individually evaluated for impairment and specific reserves are established to cover incurred losses.
While the credit metrics have improved for Park's Ohio-based operations over the past 21 months, OREO assets have remained relatively stable. OREO assets for Park's Ohio-based operations were $13.7 million, $13.2 million and $8.4 million at September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

As a result of guidance from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), $10.27 million of consumer loans were identified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDR") whereby the borrower's obligation to PNB has been discharged in bankruptcy and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt. These newly identified TDRs consisted of $5.48 million of first mortgages, $858,000 of home equity lines of credit and $3.93 million of consumer installment loans.
